Chapter 669: Undercurrents Surge

After obtaining the Green Wood Evil, Chen Mobai stayed in Sky Country for a while longer.

Under his orders, Yuan Chiye quickly led a team of two hundred Qi Practitioners from Rock Country to provide support.

These were experts trained over many years to excavate water channels. However, these were all Loose Cultivators permanently employed by Northern Abyss City under the name of the Divine Wood Sect.

As per Chen Mobai's instructions, since the construction of the two great rivers was at least a twenty- to thirty-year mega-project, these Loose Cultivators had to sign a long-term contract of over ten years with the Divine Wood Sect.

Initially, the Loose Cultivators did not approve of this long-term contract.

After all, in the Eastern Desolation, Loose Cultivators revered their freedom, prefering to cultivate in seclusion after completing a task and only seeking work when their stock of Spirit Rice and Spirit Stones ran out—this was the norm.
